Options error: --up script fails with '/etc/openvpn/client.up'

[Cyrus A. Mallon]

Hello, 

I'm trying to use tunnelblik but I get this error: 

" 

Options error: --up script fails with '/etc/openvpn/client.up': No such file or directory (errno=2)

          1643054978.778995 b000 Options error: Please correct this error.

Here is my config file (with all sensitive info removed):

persist-tun

persist-key

data-ciphers xxx

data-ciphers-fallback xxx

auth SHA1

dev tun

tls-client

client

remote xx.xxx.xx.xxx tcp4

verify-x509-name “xxx” name

auth-user-pass

comp-lzo adaptive

script-security 2

up /etc/openvpn/client.up

up /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf

down /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf

push "dhcp-option DNS xxx.xx.xx.xxx”

If anyone has any ideas as to what I can do, I'd be glad hear them. My OS is macOS Monterey (v 12.0.1). MacBook Pro, early 2015.

This has to do with OpenVPN, not Tunnelblick.

You should consult OpenVPN resources (see links on our Support page), but:

• Your OpenVPN configuration file references an "up" script at /etc/openvpn/client.up. That file does not exist.
  
• Similarly, the references a "down" script, which may not exist, either.
  
• You have two "up" options in the file, which is not allowed.
  
• You have a "push" option in what I assume is a "client" configuration. That won't do anything.
  

It appears you have created your own configuration file. I recommend you instead modify a sample configuration in the OpenVPN source code and use that.

Again, please  consult OpenVPN resources (see links on our Support page).
